-Access Control Lists increase security against hackers and other unwanted traffic from the internet. ACLs will protect the network from unauthorized access.

Network is scalable
- Can easily achieve 300% growth without any major design changes.
-Each classroom has 4 100Mbps data drops, 2 of which are used:
1 for the teachers workstation
1 for 24 workstations via a 24 port switch

-Student workstations per classroom could be tripled by attaching the 2 free data drops to 2 more 24 port switches making each class capable of hosting 72 students, a 300% increase.

-Also, although all rooms are currently wired, not all rooms currently have computers in them. All that would be required for these rooms to be accessible to another 25 computers is one switch per room.
